利未记 19:11 CUVS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 19:1-37

3. Holiness of behavior toward God and man ch. 19Moses grouped the commandments in this section together by a loose association of ideas rather than by a strictly logical arrangement. They all spring from the central thought in Leviticus 19:2: "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." This sentence is the motto of Leviticus (cf. Leviticus 11:44-45; Leviticus 20:26; Matthew 5:48; 1 Peter 1:16)."Every biblical statement about God carries with it an implied demand upon men to imitate... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 19:11-18

"The statements in the law were intended as a reliable guide with general applicability-not a technical description of all possible conditions one could imagine. . . . The ’deaf’ and the ’blind’ are merely selected examples of all persons whose physical weaknesses demand that they be respected rather than despised." [Note: G. D. Fee and D. Stuart, How to Read the Bible for All It’s Worth, p. 155.] God commanded proper attitudes as well as correct actions (Leviticus 19:17-18; cf. Matthew... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:1-37

Various Laws, mainly of a Moral and Humane CharacterThis chapter was very naturally regarded by Jewish authorities as an embodiment of the Decalogue. It will be observed that in general the precepts in Leviticus 19:3-8 correspond to those of the first table of the Decalogue (’Thou shalt love the Lord thy God’), and those in Leviticus 19:9-18 to the second table (’Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself’). In this chapter alone the characteristic phrase ’I am the Lord’ (i.e. Jehovah) occurs no... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 19:11

(11) Ye shall not steal.—This injunction, which forms the eighth commandment of the Decalogue (Exodus 20:15), most probably has here a primary reference to the conduct of the owners of fields and vineyards. They are cautioned that by depriving the poor of his prescribed right to the corner of the fields, and to the gleanings of the harvest and vintage, they commit theft. Hence the Jewish canonists laid it down that he who puts a basket under a vine at the time of gathering grapes robs the poor. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:1-37

THE LAW OF HOLINESS (CONCLUDED)Leviticus 19:1-37WE have in this chapter a series of precepts and prohibitions which from internal evidence appear to have been selected by an inspired redactor of the canon from various original documents, with the purpose, not of presenting a complete enumeration of all moral and ceremonial duties, but of illustrating the application in the everyday life of the Israelite of the injunction which stands at the beginning of the chapter (Leviticus 19:2): "Ye shall... read more

2. Different Duties CHAPTER 19 1. Honoring parents and fearing God (Leviticus 19:1-8 ) 2. The care of the poor (Leviticus 19:9-10 ) 3. Against stealing and lying (Leviticus 19:11-12 ) 4.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:1-37

MANY LAWS GROUPED TOGETHER (vv. 1-37) We have seen at the beginning and end of chapter 18 God's announcement, “I am the Lord your God.” In chapter 19 the expression “I am the Lord” occurs 15 times. But here it is difficult to find any division of topics, for laws of every kind are found following one another. It has been suggested that in this case the reason is to stress that the law is one: there is a unity about it that is not to be ignored by those under law. James 2:10 strongly enforces... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:1-37

ABOMINATIONS UNTO THE LORD The underlying thought of this section is in the words of Leviticus 18:1-5 . Israel is redeemed and separated unto God, therefore, she is to live consistently with that fact in all her ways. She is not to do after the heathen peoples round about her. THE QUESTION OF EATING (Leviticus 17:0 ) It looks as though the opening injunction of this chapter touched once more upon the ceremonial and recurred to a matter considered under the offerings. But in that case the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 19:11-18

All these precepts explain themselves. The argument made use of for the enforcing them is striking; the LORD'S authority. Cursing the deaf, putting a stumbling block in the way of the blind; and the like; these are crimes which, perhaps, the one might not be hurt by, nor the other offended: but the LORD hears, and the LORD observes; and that is enough. And one universal feature shows what must be the consequence. 1 Samuel 12:5 . read more
